AMD triple-core Phenoms to launch on March 2008?

Last month, AMD revealed its plans to add triple-core versions of the upcoming Phenom processor to its lineup. The move is driven largely by market positioning, as the triple-core Phenom fills in some price points on AMDs roadmap. At the time of the announcement AMD declined to disclose further details, but DigiTimes sources at motherboard makers in Taiwan have apparently leaked codenames and features of the upcoming tri-core CPUs:

Toliman adopts a 65nm process, supports socket AM2+ motherboards, and supports HyperTransport 3.0. The CPUs will have 2MB L3 cache and will be launched by the end of March 2008.According to the sources, second-generation tri-core Phenoms will be available in the first half of 2009, when they will be upgraded to a 45nm production process, HyperTransport 3.0-enabled Socket AM3 interconnect and the ability to use DDR 3 memory.
